MIRROR – Veteran spaceman Buzz Aldrin tells a Q&A he saw an unidentified flying object on his Apollo 11 flight to the moon.

Legendary astronaut Buzz Aldrin says he saw an unidentified flying object during the Apollo 11 flight that put man on the moon.

But Buzz, 84, was reluctant to describe the sighting as being of an extraterrestrial spaceship.

He told a question-and-answer session: “I observed a light out the window that appeared to be moving alongside us.

“There were many explanations of what that could be, other than another spacecraft from another country or another world – it was either the rocket we had separated from, or the four panels that moved away when we extracted the lander from the rocket and we were nose to nose with the two spacecraft.

“So in the close vicinity, moving away, were four panels. And I feel absolutely convinced that we were looking at the sun reflected off of one of these panels.
